2. First I went about researching what kind of
font to use of our poster. Looking at other
psychological thriller posters and seeing
what kind of fonts they used. Most of them
were plain, thick fonts or plain, thin fonts that
have been altered or edited to go along the
theme of the film. Therefore I have decided
for this mock up to use a thick font has it will
draw the eyes to it more easily, and for the
mock up, I shall leave it as basic text.
3. I went through some website fonts and
found different fonts that could be used for
the final piece.

4. For the other parts of the poster I have found
a font that is used quite a lot with posters
and looks quite nice but doesn’t draw your
eye towards it to not be too distracting to
the actual title and focus of the poster.

5. For the film poster I needed to use a colour
scheme that would look nice together while
being able to read what is on the page. For
contrast the first two colours that came to
mind were black and white. However as it
was a psychological thriller I felt like another
colour should be used to portray this so I
used red, as it is normally symbolised as
blood or danger.
6. For the image, we wanted
to recreate what is used in
one of the Jacobs Ladder
Posters as we feel it would fit
our short film and open the
poster up for the audience
to ask questions. As this also
needed to be the main
focus of the poster I didn’t
want to put any additional
images to draw attention
away.
7. For the layout I followed the most common
with film posters, with the focus picture and
title in the middle, who it is starring at the top
and the credits and other information near
the bottom.
8. I followed the same layout with
the actors and or people who
involved with having them at
the top of the screen. I also
have the planned release in
the same font but a bit bigger
and in the red to match the
colour scheme and to draw the
attention to this so the
audience knows when the film
is to be released.
9. For now I have added in a stand in text for
the credits but the placing of them is the
same as most film posters. It is at the bottom
in a font that doesn’t draw the audiences
attention to it. I have two reviews that mirror
each other on either side and the logos that
are involved in the film, I just used two
companies that I saw were on other
psychological thrillers.
